[ale] spam lists

[Thomas Wood]

Krum,

While I certainly have no interest in starting a flame war with you or 
any other alers over this, in my experience, SORBS is one of the least 
twitchy of the various rbls floating around.

Sorry you got listed, but it takes more than one complaint to get 
blackisted by SORBS.  I'd check the logs of any system on that IP just 
to be safe.
